Meeting the paper demands of international luxury brands and manufacturers can be done safely and a recent award for James Cropper Paper from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) goes to prove it once again. Awarded in a Gala Ceremony at the London, ExCeL Exhibition Centre on Thursday 16 June 2015, the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards panel awarded James Cropper their Gold Award for Occupational Health and Safety.

The award is judged against demanding criteria and comes in recognition of consistent high standards in monitoring health and safety on site and maintaining a process of continual improvement. The company’s benchmarking of safety performance against the high standards of RoSPA offers an unquestionable level of scrutiny into the day-to-day operations of all parts of the business.

Dave Watson, Chief Operations Officer, said: “There are few other awards which sum up a company’s commitment to keeping people safe than those presented by RoSPA, so we are honoured by the decision to present us with this. At the same time, we expect to achieve the highest standards and judge ourselves by these award criteria during the course of each day. This is due recognition of the meticulous plans and procedures implemented and respected by our colleagues.”

The Gold Award is the highest single level of award that RoSPA present to companies and entrants must provide rigourous evidence of a good health and safety management system. As a result of this accolade, James Cropper Paper will have the opportunity to use the award logo on company stationery and website.
